While the Internet is probably the best source for finding jobs since the listings tend to the the most current, there are other resources as well. Be sure to check for job postings in the back of your favourite library journals such as American Libraries or Library Journal. Also, library associations almost always have a telephone "job line" listing employment opportunities. And attending library conferences can be one of the best ways to land a job. Like in any other industry, networking with colleagues is an invaluable professional development tool.
Best of luck on your job search.
